I've only read the first one. It makes me want to move to New York.
A photoessay about New York City virgins.
All spoke of a stigma and with an unshakable conviction that they were doing the right thing.
Why does discussion of virginity always focus on people who are practicing it voluntarily? I ask you.
On the other hand, if all the virgins they could find in NYC were that kind, maybe there's hope for me yet.
A friend of mine at Ivy League School had just graduated a virgin when Playboy came a-calling on one of those Sex in College ex-po-zays. To promote the issue, they did a press conference with their virgins--my friend traveled from New York back to ILS for the event. She ended up losing her virginity to a guy she hung out with after the press conference.
Those are some sexily-photographed virgins.
"I like to play innocent, weak, and timid. Then I like to beat the shit out of him."
7: And not a one admitting to connubial bliss with a goose in Central Park. Which happened when I lived in NYC. How times have changed...
11: Were you the goose or the other one?
Lauren, 22, just seems to be waiting for the right dude, teo, and has an attractively sullen look. Maybe you should move to NYC.
I was amused that the sexually frustrated dad had more sex than many of the others profiled.
I was the one hanging out in the West End bar with drunken fellow Columbia students discussing the philosophical dilemma: Could one disapprove of the nether-stuffing of a goose and still eat foie gras?
13: Maybe I should, ben, maybe I should.
One could disapprove of the nether stuffing of a goose and still stuff a goose's nethers if one was willing to indulge a bit of personal guilt in pursuit of a good time. I'd say ditto for foie gras.
It really is remarkable how different the Teoville and NYC dating scenes seem to be, considering how many Teo U. students come from the latter.
When I do decide to give up my virginity--be it in a marriage or not--I just want to be sure that it will be something that will be appreciated and respected.
I've had acquaintances who held this line for well into adulthood. And then when they finally did have sex, their reaction was almost uniformly, "*that* was all I've been holding out for lo these many years?"
Most of them then set out about grimly and resentfully fucking anyone that would hold still.

That would make for a good montage sequence.
Okay, I'm not exactly an expert. But is holding still how it's supposed to be done?!
I don't like reading about people describing their sex lives, or seeing people having sex, unless it's intended as pornography.
I have no problem imagining all the people as being really hot.
In fact, imagining people as much more attractive than they actually are is maybe the best thing abotu online socializing.

Fortunately, no official accrediting body exists. You can be an expert if you like.
"Fortunately, no official accrediting body exists"
You do need to find somebody to fill the role on an ad hoc basis, though.
Damn, I was sure one of the entries was going to be "CCMC."
Thanks for making that explicit, Ned.
Clearly we should all start keeping sex diaries and posting them for each other.
Speaking of sex in the media, I wouldn't have thought you could do this:
CAIRO, Egypt (CNN) -- Dr. Heba Kotb is tackling a taboo in the Arab world unlike anyone else: She's talking about sex openly on a show broadcast all over the Middle East.
It's a big first in these parts of the world, and Kotb leaves little uncovered.
"We talk about masturbation ... sex over the Internet. We talk about sex and Ramadan. We talk about the wedding night," said Kotb. Entitled "The Big Talk," the show is broadcast once a week over a satellite channel from Cairo, Egypt.
It took the 39-year-old mother three years of negotiations to get her show on the air. And a main reason she succeeded is that she talks only about sex allowed in the Quran -- sex between husband and wife.
But even with that guideline, it's no easy sell.
Can mine be the accrediting body? I'm good at that stuff.
Yikes! The 27-year-old teacher in Park Slope is not me.
34: Yes. I would like to apply for accreditation, please.
36: The paperwork's a bitch, I warn you.
I'm prepared to suffer for my credentials.
I heard the oral examination takes forever.
Yes, I'm just here to pick the low hanging fruit.
Yiiii! The 41-year-old guy?! Jesus. The thought of 41-year-old virginity was the stuff of nightmares when I was a 19-year-old virgin.
If you're a healthy person who makes it that long, it's probably by choice.
I think what the longterm virgins aren't thinking about is that everyone is pretty bad in bed at first. By the time they hook up with that precious someone, who, presumably, is not a 40-year-old virgin, that someone is going to have all his/her bad sex in the distant past. The fact that this is perfectly obvious makes me think that the older of these virgins are having a hard time coming to terms with being asexual, which is really hard to come out about.
Yes, when you finally meet the person of your dreams, it's nice to be able to not suck in bed.
...though I guess it's pretty suspicious if you're too good.
The fruit in 42 is so low the ants are eating it...
Love means never having to say "Your balls are in my face."
Unless you're into that, of course.
47
It depends where you put the emphasis.
7:00 A.M."Wake up feeling frisky. My wife says, "Let's all go to early Mass."
That's a special kind of evil.
"though I guess it's pretty suspicious if you're too good."
I imagine that it isnt as bad if you are too good as it would be if you do immediately launch into things beyond the basics.
"Now, get the stopwatch and the pulley out!!!"
Get these aunts off my balls!
Trouble with the in-laws?
40: Yeah, back when I was a 19-year old virgin, I comforted myself with the idea that even if I didn't ever get have sex, at least I'd have a gruesome martyrdom at the age of 33 to look forward to.
That ad exec just has no excuse. If so many girls are giving you the eye, just get a number already.
Is "Heba Kotb" related to Sayyid Qutb? Damn those licentious Qutbs. We need to have some sort of religious revival to get back to the old-fashioned ways.
The ad exec sounds like he enjoys being a tease.
The ad exec is a screwball. Seriously dude, you're 31 years old. For christ's sakes, try and make it through work without whacking off.
try and make it through work without whacking off
Why?
"Now, get the stopwatch and the pulley out!!!"
Or the canonical robe and wizard hat.
59: Work, work, masturbate, work.
All work an no play makes Jack a dull boy.
The ad exec pretty clearly enjoys masturbating more than he enjoys one night stands or LTRs.
